Cultured & Fermented Butter

Cultured & Fermented Butter with Denise

If you’ve joined one of Denise’s bread workshops at Perth City Farm, you may have already tasted her delicious French-style cultured butter.

Now it’s your turn to learn how to make it.

In this hands-on two-hour workshop, Denise will take you through the full process, from choosing the right cream and fermenting it for flavour, to churning, washing, kneading and salting your butter so it keeps well.

You’ll also explore simple flavour variations using herbs, spices and compound butter combinations.

You’ll learn:

• how to choose and prepare cream for cultured butter

• which starters to use

• how timing and temperature affect fermentation and flavour

• how to churn and separate butter from buttermilk

• how to wash, knead and salt your butter

• how to create herb, spice and compound butter variations

No experience is needed.

You’ll leave knowing exactly how to make cultured butter again at home, and probably wondering why you haven’t been doing it all along.
